Basically who you get pair pared up against in the 2nd & 3rd rounds will be the biggest factor on whether or not you make it. No idea yet who will make the finals. Or even round 3 for that matter. Last time some good MOCs got cut early because they faced a slightly better MOC in the open head to head round.

@KNIGHT - I think you will too!At first look the ship looks bland - but there's so much brilliant greebily goodiness in your ship it's hard to pass up.

Though I'm kinda curious how people voted - as in their criteria.

For each group I roughly allocated 4 spots I felt the ships/fig 'felt' like they were in SW universe and were true bounty hunters.I gave 1 spot for the most technically difficult buildand last spot for 'fav' for builds that I thought was amusing or something really neat that I liked.

Most the other pools were pretty much lined up as far as level and skill and detail in the MOCs. But there was not a clear order of building expertise or design/aesthetics in your pool.

Thus my comment there about it's going to be the pool to watch for the head to head votes. I was glad to see that over all I did well in number of votes. Still nervous because last year I couldn’t believe that people like the MOC as much as they did. I think my MOC is better this year but I think the competition is better this year.

Well, when we get head to head, maybe they will check out all the detail. I am just hoping me and Knight don't get paired up.

Well at some point you would have any way. Think Knight built a good ship but yours looks more aggressive. I'm guessing Knight would lose that battle.

That's why I'm not looking forward to having to battle the first place guy right now. I really like his ship. But I don't want him beat me, even though personally I think his ship is equal or better. However I think my bounty hunter is better. This is one of those cases that I hope my fan base support is better than my building skills.

Yeah, LB would win for sure. His ship is my personal favorite of our region, even though it has more of an alien feel to it, rather than SW. Either way ships are not my niche, so I'm glad I made an entry anyways. On a side note, I'm excited for the head to head battles.

Wow... The competition looks incredible! I guess I'll have to make a stab at it next year, although I should probably make sure I'm doing it for the fun, not the prize, simply because the chances of me winning are pretty close to none. But you never know what can happen in a year... Maybe my first step should be guild-ship.

well if it's anything like most sports brackets it will be 1st and 8th, 2nd and 7th, 3rd and 6th, 4th and 5th. however I'm not sure if they are mixing up the individual regionals or not. I guess we'll find out tonight

ding ding ding!

and yes, we will be mixing up the brackets so you'll be competing against mocs from other regions.

I finally saw you ship. I was wondering why you hadn't commented in any of these threads. If you don't mind I've posted your ship here so that at least the four us still in the contest can give some feedback on how to improve it.
